At the club, Jack's got take out - and leaves a message - hoping she'll join him for dinner - a 'yes' would be nice - but he'd just like to see her face.

Nikki's face is pretty grim - spying as Sharon and Victor recreate a scene from her own past. Flashing back, a troubled Nikki flees as they kiss. To a wonderful evening, Victor manages to sound sinister as opposed to romantic.

Paul's at the club - the suicide article on his laptop. By phone, he learns whomever wrote it is no longer enrolled. Getting nowhere, Paul hangs up - thanks for your help (or lack thereof). His next call is to a police contact.

Chris marches past Ricky (who watches) to the patio. What did you just call me? she confronts Phyllis.

Daisy accosts Eden at the bookstore - does the 'homewrecker' know where he husband and daughter are? Ignoring her, Eden walks off.

Backstage, Daniel (with Lucy) needs advice from Danny (as he's 'crawling the walls already'). He then proudly introduces Lucy to her Grandpa.

As Lucy plays on the floor of Danny's dressing room, Daniel relays the episode that cost him custody. Mom's sure Daisy set it up. Is Daisy a danger to Lucy? No - she's safe; physically. But Daisy's delusional and self centered. Danny admits - it DOES sound similar to what he went through with Phyllis. Daniel's not sure what to do. Decide what matters, is Danny's vague advice - he wouldn't trade being Daniel's Dad for anything.

Really? Calling me a bitch under your breath, Chris scolds Phyllis (who's still immature decades later). My bad - I shoulda said it to your face, Phyllis exits - leaving Ricky to saunter out to greet Chris.

Victor and Sharon are puzzled to find the front door ajar. Victor agrees - it seems as if we're not alone.

Making a beeline to Jack's, Nikki admits she went to see Victor (who was reveling in Sharon's beauty). Jack chuckles - that's fantastic.

Pouring on the charm, Ricky asks Chris about his mother - and wants to apologize for what Isabella did to him. People think of her when they see him. He's made mistakes too - but is learning - like who to trust and who not to. He wants to compare notes on Phyllis. Chris is game - now.

Danny CHOSE to be with Phyllis instead of Chris (whom things didn't work out with for many reasons). Again - Danny wouldn't trade being a Dad for anything. Daniel's sure he and Daisy are doomed to fail.

Hey husband kisser, Daisy doesn't give up. Where's Daniel? Eden strikes back - cant keep him around without spiking his drink or hitting him over the head. Good luck (with the marriage).

Oh come ON - Victor and Sharon IS funny - so's Nikki witnessing it. Jack's bored of her foolish choices. Nikki feels Sharon's taking her place - and wish she didn't care. Jack loathes 'the mustache' - confessing 1% of his proposal was to stick it to Victor. Nikki's hardly flattered - and part of her heart does belong to Victor. He's not wasting his time on us, Jack points out.

Sharon knows Victor has a lot on her mind. And what was SHE troubled by when she arrived? Oh, just old news. Victor's glad she was 'cool' in coming there - but are we wise in pursuing this?

Daniel and Danny continues to discuss Phyllis - and Daisy. Wanting to do something and surviving it are two different things, Daniel points out (and Mom wants it over). Danny however supports and respects Daniel's decision - keep your focus on Lucy - you can do anything.

Stay away from my husband. Eden wouldn't dream of interfering in their great love (adding that Daniel came running to her). Yeah - well - he's with ME now - and Daisy won't let anything change that.

Ricky thinks little of Phyllis' morals, ethics and manners. But when Chris wants to hear all about it, Ricky suddenly remembers an interview he must get to.

Finding Phyllis working at the club, Paul wants to know why she fired Ricky - and Phyllis wants to know why he's coming to HER about him.

Does Paul really wanna know what Phyllis thinks of Ricky? He wouldn't have asked it not. He's sneaky - she blames Ricky for Daniel losing custody (and marrying Daisy). She wishes he never came to town. Paul apologizes for whatever pain his son's caused.

Off to his interview, Danny tells Daniel that he's proud - he's a good man. No sooner has Daniel left, Ricky appears (to introduce himself - and thank Danny for agreeing to let him do the interview)

It's a complicated situation. Nikki and Adam mentioned, Victor's giving Sharon an 'out'.

Basically, Jack would rather spend a lifetime loving Nikki - than hating Victor. CAN she forget HIM and marry Jack??

Initially relived when Daniel brings Lucy home, Daisy's soon nagging that she wasn't taken along to meet his father. She was scared. If she every lost them both ..... Swear you won't walk away ever again, Daisy pleads.

At CL's, Paul again warns Eden to stay away from Ricky (but feels guilty - and hopes to prove he's wrong). But no - Chris relays her run in - Ricky set off alarm bells - Paul was right to warn Eden - but - he's fixated on someone else; Phyllis.

Soon after Ricky steers the interview around to his history with Phyllis, Danny summons security to end the interview - then immediately calls Phyllis to warn her; Ricky Williams is holding a grudge.

Worried that Phyllis will send Daniel and Lucy away with fake passports, Daisy's reassured; Daniel's here to stay. But when she snuggles in - purring 'we're a family', Daniel can't even bring himself to put his arm around her. Yes, we are (but he doesn't look happy about it).

On the phone, Phyllis tells Danny about Isabella's son (who makes his father nervous - that says something). How long can she keep looking over her shoulder?

Back at CL's, Paul's struggling ... Scared about what you might find out about your own son, Chris knows. Paul then beats himself up about what a crappy father he was. If he weren't a coward, things may have turned out differently. Paul's waiting to hear from another kid - but fears it'll be more bad news.

Ricky gets a call - from a guy named Bryce - someone's asking questions about you. The GC number recited, Ricky knows it's Paul. Thanks for the heads up.

Sharon appreciates Victor not pushing - and would love to tell the world to go to hell. Until they make a decision, she hopes they can spend time together. Getting up to eat a giant strawberry, Victor suggests they discuss it another day - no rush. Turning around, he's amused to find Sharon sleeping on the sofa. Placing a blanket over her, Victor heads upstairs.

Victor may have carved his name in Nikki's heart years ago - but it's scar tissue now, says Jack. Nikki now has her answer (which has nothing to do with Victor). I love you very much. Yes, I'll marry you ~kiss~

Next: Jack boasts to Nikki - I'm about to beat everyone; Victor, the SEC, Genevieve - and guess what first prize is .... You are making a terrible mistake, Chris warns Cane (who appreciates the warning - but 'we're done') .... This could be a disaster for Genevieve, Avery says. And a windfall for me, Victor replies.

My Thoughts: Wouldn't the name Ricky Williams ring a belll with Danny? At the very least he mighta asked if he was related to Paul Williams .... Victor and Sharon are wasting a lot of time. You'd think he'd be all over the woman he finds so beautiful. I guess there's still hope they'll decide not to do 'this' (though both characters have already been destroyed for most fans already) .... If course Daniel's crawling up the walls - he's living in a shoebox cluttered with easels - with another adult and a baby (and the real estate sucking paraphenelia that comes with that) ... Danny keeps his music 'relevent'? Oh? Is he going to do a duet with Angelina? Thankfully, we didn't have to see him 'performing' ... Kinda funny that Paul's apologizing for what his son did to Phyllis. He'll feel pretty silly when Ricky's fixation on Phyllis solves the mystery of who ran him and Chris over decades ago ... Of course Paul just so happens to have a contact in the police department where Rachel supposedly killed herself .. You'd think Paul would block his number when making calls relating to an inestigation. Guess he thinks HE'S the only one with any tattle tail contacts.
